Solution

The correct option is A Aerenchyma
Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of submerged and aquatic plants. The floating leaves are there due to this feature of aerenchyma only. The aquatic plants or hydrophytes do not have submerged leaves or a well developed phloem, So the correct answer is 'Aerenchyma.'
